Konavoski Dvori
A rustic riverside tavern in the Konavle valley, in old mill buildings by a waterfall, known for peka.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A 30-minute drive south of the city into the green Konavle countryside, set in restored stone watermills beside the Ljuta river.
Our read - 02
Staff in traditional dress, lamb and veal slow-cooked under the bell (ispod peke), and trout from the stream — the antidote to Old Town tourist dining.

The plates that decide it
- Lamb or veal peka (ispod peke) — order ahead — the signature slow-bake
- River trout — fresh and local to the valley
- Rushed à la carte if you skipped pre-ordering — the peka is why you drove out here
Plan it well
- Cost
- Mid — good value given the setting
- Allow
- Half-day with the drive; peka needs pre-ordering
